Visiting U.K. community big band
Hello all,
In 2023 (27th May to June 2nd) the Hertfordshire Big Band will be visiting the area. We are an amateur band comprising doctors, teachers, microbiologists, rocket scientists and a five times world memory champion who still forgets the route to rehearsals (I kid you not). Through the year the band performs at many varied venues, from jazz clubs via concert halls to charity functions. My job, apart from playing with the band when travel allows, is to find gigs for this tour. We will be based in Chipiona (where I now live) but will be able to travel as far as Barbate along the coast and inland as far as Sevilla. Typical places to play are hotels, theatres, outdoor bandstands and the like. Due to things being slow to reopen after COVID I’m struggling a bit to identify potential gigs and so if anyone has any suggestions or would like to host us for a gig then please contact me. We require approximately 8m wide by 5m deep flat space and access to mains electricity. Our repertoire ranges from the classic Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington charts through to more contemporary pieces by Gordon Goodwin, Bob Mintzer and others. We usually carry two singers who cover well known numbers by Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Leigh, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Michael Buble and others. If you can be of any assistance with venue suggestions then please contact me through this forum. To find out more about the band please Google “Hertfordshire Big Band” as I believe posting the website here is against the rules. Many thanks.
